Ambiguous reference to member 'view'

My app is crashing on the line:

let playlistImageView = sender!.view as UIImageView

with an error of:

Ambiguous reference to member 'view'

I've tried googling, but I have no idea what this means!

I've made it build by changing the line to:

let playlistImageView = sender!.view! as! UIImageView

But this seems like a hack rather than a solution...

I have gotten it working with the following code:

if let playlistImageView = sender!.view! as? UIImageView {
    if let index = playlistsArray.indexOf(playlistImageView) {
        if let playlistDetailViewController = segue.destinationViewController as? PlaylistDetailViewController {
            playlistDetailViewController.playlist = Playlist(index: index)
        }
    }
}

My guess is that Swift has changed a little bit since this video was made.
